The European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) 2024 took place from 2 to 4 October in Budapest, Hungary. The event, organised by the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), brings together industry professionals, business developers, researchers and policy-makers from all over Europe and other regions of the world to advance policy actions, and industrial and research activities in the areas of Data and AI.
For the second year in a row, DATAMITE was present during the three days of the forum. This year, with a twist, it did so as part of the EUDATA+ cluster that brings together six Horizon Europe projects (enRichMyData, UPCAST, PISTIS, Graph-Massivizer, FAME and DATAMITE) to create synergies that revolutionise data monetisation. The cluster participated in EBDVF with a 6-square-metre booth and a 2-hour session.
The EUDATA+ cluster organised the session ‘Advancing Data Lifecycle Management: Tools and Strategies for Enhanced Monetisation’, a technical session in which the six cluster projects explored in depth the data lifecycle, from data generation to data monetisation, showcasing their innovative tools and solutions and explaining how these technologies can improve companies’ data management and monetisation strategies. The session was divided into two parts. The first part consisted of a 10-minute presentation by a representative of each project on how their respective project is working to improve data monetisation, and the second part consisted of a panel discussion.
Before the first part, Richard Stevens, Associate Vice President at IDC, introduced the Alliance and the data lifecycle detailing how each project supports the different stages of this process. Jordi Arjona (ITI), technical coordinator of DATAMITE, was the DATAMITE spokesperson. He focused his presentation on how companies can improve the metadata enrichment of their data to facilitate its location in tools such as data catalogues and monitor its quality.
Daniel Alonso Román, Senior Technical Lead for Big Data and AI ecosystems at BDVA, moderated the panel discussion. Under the title ‘Key technical gaps and challenges to pave the way for data exploitation’, the speakers discussed the main technical gaps and challenges in data exploitation, identifying common problems and exploring possible solutions to maximise the benefits of data use.
“DATAMITE’s participation in the EBDVF has been very satisfactory. Not only has the session allowed us to show the progress of the project, but thanks to the visibility of our stand, we have also been able to make new and exciting contacts. After the event, the possibility of expanding the EUDATA+ alliance with new projects that join forces is much closer”, concludes Santiago Cáceres, DATAMITE Coordinator.
